The hapless driver allegedly knocked around by Alec Baldwin is an avid runner who survived the Boston Marathon bombing — and had no clue who the hot-headed actor was when he sucker-punched him over a parking spot.

Wojciech Cieszkowski said Saturday that he’s “recovering” from his Greenwich Village scuffle with the “Beetlejuice” star, but shook his head when asked if he initially recognized Baldwin as the two sparred a day earlier.

“I’m OK. I am recovering,” Cieszkowski, 49, told the Daily News when he answered the door at his home in Pearl River, Rockland County.

The avid runner, who Patch.com noted survived the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, showed no visible signs of damage from his encounter with the frequent “Saturday Night Live” guest star.

Cieszkowski, whose black Saab station wagon was parked in his driveway with a “2008 Boston Marathon 26.2” sticker in the rear window, said he’s not planning on running in Sunday’s New York City Marathon.

Baldwin, 60, told cops a family member was holding the spot in front of his E.10th St. home when Cieszkowski pulled up and snagged the space.

The irate Trump impersonator allegedly hopped out of his Cadillac Escalade and clocked Cieszkowski as he attempted to feed a meter.

Baldwin was charged with assault and harassment and given a desk appearance ticket, police said. He’s due in court Nov. 26.

He tweeted Friday from the account of the Hilaria and Alec Baldwin Foundation that “the assertion that I punched anyone over a parking spot is false. I wanted to go on the record stating as much.”

The hot-tempered thespian has a long history of such run-ins.

In 2012, Baldwin was accused of assaulting Daily News photographer Marcus Santos, who said the "30 Rock" star punched him outside the city Marriage License Bureau after Baldwin and then-fiancée Hilaria Thomas were preparing for their nuptials.

Baldwin got into a scuffle with another photographer a year later, just days after his daughter was born

Again in 2014, the “Hunt for Red October” actor was charged with disorderly conduct for confronting two cops who stopped him for riding his bike the wrong way down a one-way street.
